In this paper we througphut or packet loss; (iii) user related parameters, like introduce a framework for QoE management for video streaming the capabilities of the end device (CPU power, resolution) systems based on the H.264/SVC codec, the scalable extension of H.264/AVC. A relevant feature is to control the user perceived or SLAs with the network or service operator; (iv) service quality of experience (QoE) by exploiting parameters offered and application specific information, like used video codec or by SVC. A proper design of a control mechanism requires the type of content (sports clip, music clip, news, etc.). Similar quantification of the ma
